Love is in the Air - White Storks Make a Grand Comeback to UK!
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this photo, a pair of majestic White storks are caught in an enchanting display of courtship. Perched high on their nest nestled within an ancient Oak tree at Knepp estate, Sussex, these lovebirds are making history as the first recorded instance of White storks nesting in the UK after several centuries. With bill clattering and synchronized up-down movements, it's clear that romance is blooming between these elegant creatures. Their graceful presence against the backdrop of lush greenery showcases nature's beauty at its finest. This extraordinary event marks not only a triumph for conservation efforts but also serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries. As they engage in this intricate dance, we witness the power of rewilding and restoration projects that have allowed these magnificent birds to reclaim their rightful place in our ecosystem. Let us celebrate this remarkable milestone and cherish every moment captured by Nick Upton's lens. The return of these European treasures brings hope for future generations and reminds us all to appreciate the wonders that nature has to offer.
